Mitt Romney appeared at a fundraiser with Donald Trump as he locked up the GOP nomination, but despite Trump's remarks to the media just hours earlier, neither man mentioned the "birther" issue, reports Bloomberg. Romney "is going to be a great president," Trump told hundreds of people gathered at his Las Vegas hotel. “He’s going to turn this country around. He’s going to create jobs like you haven’t seen for many, many years, since we were great."

Romney thanked Trump for his support. “We finally got there,” he said, calling the moment an “honor and a privilege, and a great responsibility." Reporters did find somebody willing to discuss birtherism: Newt Gingrich. "We believe this is an American-born, job-killing president," he said ahead of the fundraiser. "Other people may believe that he was born somewhere else and still kills jobs, but that's an argument over background." Newt said it wasn't racist to accuse Obama of being born in Kenya, and declined to say exactly when he would release his GOP convention delegates to Romney.

The records speaks to Obama's ability to bring America back from an economic disaster borne of a blind eye on the part of the Bush/Cheney Administration on the excesses of Wall Street. Romney has shown himself to be a job-killer as governor of Massachusetts to the point that he doesn't even mention his tenure there. Romney will only represent the best interests of the Corporate Oligarchy.

"We believe this is an American-born, job-killing president" -- Newt Gingrich ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Let's skip ahead to the bottom line: the Obama administration needs to hide a four year economic disaster of Herbert Hoover proportions. This baloney is merely the choice du jour... Unfortunately, there's going to be a tomorrow, and a tomorrow, and a tomorrow in which the Feebs are going to have to dream up yet another new distraction to hide the economic mess. In fact, they're going to have to hide it... every... single... day... until November. And each time the latest distraction walks off stage, it’s going to be, Whoops!, back to the real world again and back to the failure that the American people can see all around them with their own eyes.
